I was at the track today and listened in on someone explain the “Grind and C Hub” Mod. I looked it up on this tred, found on the first page!!! I am about to start building my B4.2. Is this an all around mod, or only for certain track types? I will be racing on a medium traction clay track. Would it be recommended to do the mod during the build, or try stock first?

I haven't had a ball stud break yet, and I'm a pitiful driver. I don't know if any stronger replacements except for titanium which are prohibitively expensive ($50ish)

It's a toss up. Doing it before you build it would save a little time. I'd say if you're an experienced racer, then go for the mod first. If you're a weekend warrior and a novice type racer, don't bother. Just MHO.

IMO it is better suited to higher bite clay tracks but I would say to try it yourself and get an opinion on it wherever you race.

The grind is for shaving down the .060 stump flush on the chassis U brace where the ball studs are mounted .

Recommend to do when you use the Chub ..


The part makes for less chassis roll and adds rear stability.

Not just for high traction, can be use on med or even less ....

The mod is very useful tuning tool , should try it and have in the pit box just in case .

Looks good man, but you have your wing spacers on wrong, they are suppose to go underneath the wing not on top..

lol.

running zero deg wing, with another wing spacer under it, top is to spread pressure of the wing bolts so wings last longer.

wing spacer angled forward (6 deg) wing spacer removed under (3 deg) wing spacer angled backwards (0 deg)

hard to say just yet but M3/M4 holeshots or something near that. That track was underwater Friday... it's amazing that it looked as good as it did!

I tried Green Hybrids, AKA Impacts, and M3 holeshots but since track time was limited and conditions were drastically different each attempt, it was tough to say one was better than the other. I think Flipouts, 3D's, Tasers, etc will all work. You just have to stay on top of it because the track is totally different in the morning, noon, and evening
